    Tax credit for voting.

    Yes. Or even better just cut a check or give cash or equivalent.

    Make it count like a $50 charitable donation would.

    No. That’s a deduction, and it’s worthless for the vast majority of people who have less in deductions than the standard deduction. Also doesn’t reduce taxes by the full amount: a $50 deduction would be at most like an $11 credit (or cash) for most people, if it even mattered.
